17th year without a PC release

Yep, preorder site only shows PlayStation and Xbox. Huge let down EA, again.

Stop buying consoles to play NHL…..after a few years of sharp decline in sales they’ll be forced to follow the money.

NO PC version = don’t buy!!!

if you have to buy it wait until it drops to 29.99 halfway through season. hit EA where it hurts

  I don't think it would cost millions dude, its built on frostbite its not like they have to build a whole new engine just to put it on PC, frostbite is literally designed for cross platform play across literally every popular system. Do you honestly think it would cost them that much to make a PC version? I mean if you think about it too, all these games are designed on PC, im sure they already have some sort of framework for NHL on PC for the devs to test stuff on without needing a console.

    Sony revealed that their AAA ports cost 1-2 millions only to port to PC. Some games only 500k. It's nothing. Some people are living in their bubble which is frozen in time somewhere in mid 2000's. PC is the biggest market and every company realized that and trying their best to use the opportunity. Literally nobody except nintendo (for obvious reasons) wants console exclusives anymore. Besides we have an example and EA is still doing it. NFL only sold ~150k copies on steam. And it's still profitable. NHL wouldn't sell less since there's interest in it in multiple countries and regions.

Unfortunately there is 0 competition for EANHL. They know it and take advantage of it.

Thankfully, making a game today is a lot easier than it was 10, even 5 years ago. Give it 2-3 years, there’s gonna be some really good small indie games for 1/8 the price of EANHL that takes the hockey gaming community by storm. Then, we’ll see if EANHL makes a quality product, or if they just roll over and die.

Would love a PC release. Tired of paying for PSN network just for this one game.
